GDANSK, Poland (AP)  Polish officials unveiled a statue of former President Ronald Reagan and Pope John Paul II on Saturday, honoring two men widely credited in this Eastern European country with helping to topple communism 23 years ago.

The statue was unveiled in Gdansk, the birthplace of Lech Walesa's Solidarity movement, in the presence of about 120 former Solidarity activists, many of whom were imprisoned in the 1980s for their roles in organizing or taking part in strikes against the communist regime...

doubt that we would see a work of art like that here. on a
side note, the home page on bing today featured a photo of gdansk. maybe poland would be a good place to expatriate
to if/when the bottom falls out.

Reading and typing with tears in my eyes. Long live principled men and women who can confront evil and defeat it. May God bless them both eternally and may we always carry their spirit in our hearts and minds.
